Somewhat amused this morning to read that Silvio Berlusconi continues to protest his innocence of all things sinful and bad.

Not only has he described himself as the most persecuted man in the entire history of the world * but went on to announce to the gathered press corps that he has had to spend millions of euros on "judges". Oops! His swift correction to make that "lawyers" might not have gone unnoticed.

I think he may need to hire a new press officer

* In other news, Jesus Christ has been knocked off the top of the charts after 102,908 weeks at number 1.
